Anybody here read polical blogs? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Being a diligent lefty, and somewhat of a political junkie, I have found blogs to be a good source of news and comment. Here are a few that I would recommend:

On the left:

Daily Kos
Calpundit
Eschaton
Josh Marshall

On the right:

Glenn Reynolds
The Volokh Consipracy

These are the ones that I read fairly regularly. Anybody else?

The Lemon is the only one that doesn't post regularly.

Hah - I bet you can't guess where I stand on the political spectrum.

One I haven't read in a while, but I generally like is <a href="http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type">Brad Delong's journal</a>. He's an economics professor in California, former Clinton economic advisor, and he sometimes has interesting stories about his son.

(I had the link wrong, the first time I posted it! I told you I haven't read it in a while.)

Hollywoodhalfwits.com is the only one I check and I only do that when something really asinine comes out. I guess that would be quite frequently actually!

Oh, another blog I read is <a href="http://www.newsfromme.com">News from Me</a> -- which in accordance to board guidlines is <b>not</b> news from me, but from Mark Evanier -- comic book and television scriptwriter.

Though he focuses on enntertainment a lot, he delves into politics fairly regularly.
